Put aside the lies and the open defiance of the Supreme Court, as well as the cruelty, and ask yourself: who talks like this? This is the official account of the White House - is it being run by a six year old?

Not a single person saying this is going to work one of these jobs, nor have they likely ever worked these jobs in the past. But also, what made these jobs bearable was they were well-paying union jobs where you traded monotony, physical toil for a good middle-class life. They aren’t offering that.

Soooooo we thinking old Pete was drunk or the job or what? It would be funny, if it wasn’t scary! Maybe we need some DEI (definitely earned it) hires to get this shit together because the incompetence is OVERWHELMINGLY problematic.

The Commerce Secretary is promoting a company’s stock on live TV, and not just any company’s - the company owned by a ‘special government employee’ and the president’s biggest donor. The corruption is the point.

I can (and do) explain the "law" behind Mahmoud Khalil's unlawful abduction and rendition to a for-profit concentration camp. But if you're waiting for the law to stop this, you've got it wrong.

Posting this from months ago because we DO have homegrown experience with autocratic regimes in this country. In nearly half this country during the first 6 decades of the 20th century Black people lived under systems of cruelty, voter suppression, hate, state violence & corruption. Ask them!

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.
